Nip negativity in the bud

How often have you asked why you continue doing something you wish was over, finished, gone, or out of your life? This may be an addiction, like smoking.  It may relate to a relationship that isn't working.  It may seem to keep your eyes on health or an aspect of your life that evokes negative feelings.

The desire to change echoes deeper dissatisfaction. Contrary to what you may believe, discomfort is a helpful thing.  This is part of your physiological gauge.  Your body is sending you messages meant to get you back on track.  This is an opportunity to learn to listen to yourself differently.

What if you refused to harbor disdain or regret for situations that didn't work out as you hoped? What if you were grateful that someone rejected you because that enabled you to channel energy where you got the reciprocity you deserve? What if accepting unfolding conditions is a way to gradually accept yourself? Everything is positive is you choose to sense it.

This is a truly powerful post. In fact this is a singularly vital (vitality) key to fully embracing Life.

When we can learn only two lessons we are very well equiped to embrace Life.

#1. "...discomfort is a helpful thing. This is part of your physiological gauge. Your body is sending you messages meant to get you back on track."

AND

#2. To love ourselves deeply, kindly, gently and sometimes firmly...no mater what we've done or think we've done or ...simply no matter what. (That selflove contains compassion, forgiveness and non-abandonment of self.)

I thank you for presenting such a powerful core truth...I live my life by it and I can honestly say that it makes for wonderfully rich living. A most intimate love affair with Life. One gets to know themselves inside and out. They get to know Life and embrace it without fear. It doesn't mean that they never experience fear; it only means that fear is also seen as a guide or gauge that creates more awareness. We can meet Life with compelling passion....where we are so "in love" that we weep with joy.

Thank you for seeing and knowing.
From my heart,
Robin

RainforestRobin, the faucet analogy applies. If fear is perceived like water running from a tap, then you realize you always have the power to turn it off. This innate power is a glimpse of who & what you are. To discover what comes next, turn the page of the book of your own life. This is a never-ending cliff-hanger filled with love and powerful energy.

Liara,
My ears are not geared for negativity. When it happens, I let it fall on deaf ears. The little voices inside are little reminders that we can always change at anytime if we really want to do it.

Alexys, for some people, ignoring the possibility of negativity is a challenge. It requires discipline and self-confidence as well as strong will. As you say, everyone is free to change their thougths and perception. You can decide to realize it is not your place to judge others or yourself. You can decide that taking responsibility in life doesn't necessitate controlling eveyrthing and everyone. As you imagine living your life without fear, negativity dissipates. You no longer acknowledge it or sense it. Negativity is an illusion.

Our feelings and our moods have a meaning, if we translate them into something understandable for reason, we may understand the need for change. Thank you

rainer, interpretation of our thoughts and feelings can help us or hinder us. It is always within our power to reframe and learn new things from our conditions. This is growth.
